The Colt Competition O1070CCSOR combines the timeless ergonomics of a Government-size 1911 with modern, competition-focused features. Chambered in .45 ACP, this full-size pistol features a 5-inch stainless steel National Match barrel, stainless steel construction and an optics-ready slide prepared for Colt’s versatile mounting-plate system.
A Novak red fiber-optic front sight provides fast visual acquisition, while the black serrated rear sight helps reduce glare. The factory cover plate incorporates the rear sight, allowing the pistol to remain fully functional before an optic is installed. Compatible optic-mounting plates and red-dot sights are sold separately.
Checkered blue G10 grips with scalloped sections provide secure traction and complement the pistol’s stainless finish. An extended thumb safety, upswept beavertail grip safety and enhanced ergonomics support consistent control during rapid strings. Colt’s updated Series 70 firing system and three-hole aluminum trigger deliver the clean, familiar trigger characteristics expected from a competition-oriented Colt 1911.
